JIM HENDRY

It looks like Jim Hendry will sign an extension soon that will keep him as the Cubs General Manager. His contract is up at the end of December. Hendry is the first GM to lead the Cubs to 3 playoff appearances. Last week the Cubs denied the Mariners' request to interview Hendry for their GM position.

The Cubs open their organizational meetings in Mesa, Arizona today so an announcement could be made early this week.

I think resigning Hendry is a good idea. He has made some great deals that have brought good teams and players to the north side.

Here are a few of Hendry's top moves:

--Trading for Aramis Ramirez and Kenny Lofton in 2003
--Trading for Rich Harden and Chad Gaudin in 2008
--Resigning Carlos Zambrano
